Thanks for the update! My Reverbs are alive & well.

Are you absolutely bent on running VR wireless / streaming ? Think about the amount of data you're trying to stream smoothly. I realize some do it successfully, but I subscribe to a good old DP (or the right USB-C for the quest) to shovel all that data to the headset. Cable it up and go fly. best,

The sim is not there. How can you judge scenery quality / stability with the current state of 'beta' from Asobo ? Give it time.

When you're trying to get something as complex as wireless VR and all its variables to work smoothly, I would suggest avoiding beta software such as FS2024. Some will disagree, but I've been doing this VR thing long enough to know... there's just too many things to adjust / tweak without having the added complexity and uncertainty of Asobos beta product. It isn't ready for primetime, period. Suggest you fire up 2020 for now and at least start with a known stable base. Then you can tweak things like channel widths, etc with some level of confidence. Your system is more than capable of handling the task. cheers,

Left hand on yoke, w. buttons programmed to pitch trim, flaps, gear. Right hand - throttle, prop, mix, spoiler - depends on the plane. Switch right hand to trackball (SOO much easier than a mouse ) to turn knobs, press buttons, adjust autopilot settings etc). Feet on the rudder pedals. Goal is to eliminate the keyboard entirely, but of course that is nearly impossible. 🙂 cheers,

Try FSUIPC7.

If that works and gets you to 23H2, please report back if you dont mind. I'd like to get to that release but I am reading that MS has removed all of those prior versions except 24H2.

Have you tried the freebie app known as InControl ? One button suppression of Microsoft's updates. https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/incontrol.html#google_vignette I highly recommend this solution if you don't want Windows to auto-update. Works like a charm.

This is indeed great news - thanks for sharing. Although, I never had a problem stopping Win11 updates before the dreaded 24H2. It's locked at 22something and my Reverb's work just fine, as does Windows11. No need for Microsoft to intervene at all.

What MoBo do you 9800x3D guys use / recommend? I just ordered the CPU & finally moving away from intel. Building the rig next week. ASus x870? Gigabyte Aorus? Thx,

How? Does ‘24 recognize those assets on a ‘20 premium installation ? I’m curious. Thx!

Has the VR pointer issue been fixed ? If not, when?

I fly sims to stay current (not certified, just my own procedures). I use VR and found Xplane 12 to be lacking in VR support. And the graphics are very dated. For now, MSFS20 is the best option.

The point of the ‘anger’ is missed. It’s not about the absolute price, or how good PMDG’s products are, or their operating costs….it’s about the lack of a simple gesture of customer loyalty. When one buys nearly everything they’ve produced since the the days of Prepar3d v1, and now having paid full price for both 773 and 77F in MSFS, the lack of an ‘upgrade/discount’ for the 772 creates frustration (and apparently anger, for some). Personally, I’m disappointed and simply choose not to pay another $77 for the 772. I just wouldn’t feel good about the purchase, regardless of what Kok is saying about new wings & engine options.

It’s by far the most annoying, un-user friendly UI of any add on I’ve ever used. But, it’s the only way to filter / adjust overexposed skys while in VR, with changes on the fly.

Does that (external view zooming) also function in VR ? TIA,

Try REX Atmos to manage the haze, colors & washout of the sim. Sorry I’m still on 2020 so maybe this is moot for ‘24 but I’m holding out. Yes, the UI sucks on Atmos, but it’s the only tool I’ve tried that allows lighting, atmosphere & color tweaks in VR with changes appearing on the fly. Much improved visuals.

Thanks a ton !! . You just saved my G2 headset. This is awesome.

I can say after much testing that yes, it works wonderfully in VR. Now I can adjust atmospherics and most importantly get rid of over-saturated scenes. Total control of lighting variables. Yes the interface is bugged - but workable. And the results in VR are truly stunning.

They spent 4 years ‘developing’ the product. The Sr. Program Mgr jumped ship. In 2 months, there’ll be another A330 as a standard offering the new sim. Panic release now or forever hold & watch an enormous development effort go down the toilet. Lose-lose scenario.

Thanks. I am able to get decent performance now, had to turn AAliasing & render distance down. Fair enough, but now cannot easily switch out of VR back to 2D. Clicking ‘Disable VR ‘ is completely unresponsive. Wish we could just assign a hotkey to switch in & out like the others. I paid $79 for this sim, thinking they’d made great strides with the product, and looking forward to their ‘better’ flight model. What a massive disappointment.

Fresh XP12 install. Beefy PC w/ 4080 & 12900. Using Reverb G2 which works great in other sim. However, in XP I’m getting very choppy performance, low frames & seems to want SteamVR to even run correctly (selecting “use OpenXR” at the menu results in hang / cannot exit , etc). Sim runs good in 2D. Help /tips appreciated.

+1 !

I signed up for the free trial. Charts look fine, but the ‘planner’ is not working at all. Tried a couple different departure / dest combos KORD-KJFK & EBBR-EIDW….& neither worked. Sent a note to support, no response as of yet > 24hrs. Not a good experience so far.

I am noticing a major lag in graphics response after switching in & out of VR with this airplane. Switch in to VR and it works fine. However, switch back out to 2D, the frames are lagging and looking around the cockpit is slow and sticky like slow motion. This is a brand new corei9 / 4070 setup and all other airplanes work fine, including the Fenix A320, PMDG 738 and Horzn 789. I hadn't seen this behavior until flying the 773 over the last couple of days. Feels like a memory leak or something. Once I kill the WMR process, all is reverted back to normal. Ideas ? anyone else noticing this ?
